Italy here we come (Christmas holiday 2010 day 1)

Reading her book on the floor of the Frankfurt Airport - all seats taken.


The day started well but rapidly declined starting with sitting for 1 hour on the tarmac at Abu Dhabi. We had a stop over in Frankfurt. I hope I never see the inside of that airport again – modern and clean but a communication nightmare. Our 1-hour stopover turned into 4+ hours, 2 of which were sitting on a plane again on the tarmac. By the time we reached Rome the trains had stopped running (which we didn’t discover until we had made the long trek to the station). We paid a high taxi driver 60 euros to get us to our hotel which was probably worth it as we got a high-speed thrill ride thrown in for free. It took us 19 hours to get to Rome.
